The EMpowered Podcast Take Over Series: Mindfulness in the Classroom with Olivia at Mindful Hearts Wellbeing

In this episode, Olivia from Mindful Hearts Wellbeing shares how you can bring mindfulness into your classroom in simple, realistic ways without it feeling like “one more thing” on your to-do list.

She’ll walk you through what mindfulness actually is (in teacher language), how it helps both students and teachers, and a four-step method you can use to set the tone for a calm and connected classroom especially in the mornings when things feel rushed or unsettled.

You’ll also hear a short guided grounding practice at the end of the episode, so you can experience how calming it feels for yourself.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why mindfulness helps kids with focus, emotions, learning and behaviour
• How to use movement, breath and sensory activities to settle your class
• A simple 4-step method to use during morning transition or after lunch
• Why mindfulness starts with you and how to fit it into your day too
• Easy ideas for calming activities, grounding strategies and classroom routines
